Borussia Dortmund striker Fullkrug puts Sancho in his place over penalty row

Borussia Dortmund striker Nicklas Fullkrug has explained his penalty row with Jadon Sancho.

The on-loan Manchester United winger started Saturday's 4-0 win against FC Koln.

But he was put in his place by Fullkrug as he attempted to wrestle the ball away from him for a penalty he'd won.

"Of course, [Sancho] wanted to take it," Fullkrug later said.

"He wants his first goal and believe me: it will come. But we have a ranking. Even had Emre [Can] and Marco [Reus] been on, I'd have been up there! It wasn't my first pen."
